Preventing common dental injuries
Your teeth are like glass shells, they can only
take a finite amount of wear and tear before they
break down. There is a reason why there is so
much emphasis on following simple sports
safety procedures – it is to prevent dental
injuries that have a particularly high risk of
occurrence in sports because of they certainly
involve a good deal of dental ‘wear and tear’.
Here are some tips to follow to make sure that
your teeth stay in good shape:

● Stay clear of tough or extra chewy foods:
Popcorn kernels, hard candy, nuts, caramels and
taffy are foods that everyone enjoys. But for those
who have had dental work done to their teeth in the
past, it is best to keep their consumption to a
minimum. These foods only server to weaken your
teeth that have already been affected by your
existing dental injuries.

● Stay clear of tough or extra chewy foods:
There is a misconception that eating hard food items
will make your weakened teeth ‘strong’ once again –
It is far from the truth: Once you have developed a
dental weakness such as tooth decay, the only thing
you can do is prevent aggravating it – you cannot fix
your teeth to the way they were before. In fact,
eating tough food will only serve to loosen your
dental filling.

● Don’t sink your teeth into anything that isn’t
food:
It hits you one day when either you crack a tooth
or loosen it from the gum, both of which can be
seriously painful dental injuries that you can
only avoid by constraining your teeth to their
normal function.

● Keep it safe when playing sports:
According to experts, sports injuries amount to
13%-39 % of total dental trauma experienced by
US citizens. You will definitely have noticed the
number of dental injuries that occur to those
who play contact sports such as football, boxing
and basketball (the latter being responsible for
the majority of sports related dental harm).

● Keep it safe when playing sports:
Wearing a mouth-guard is one of the most
simple safety practices you can observe to
prevent displacing, chipping or knocking out
your teeth during an intense game. These
mouth-guards aren’t even that expensive or rare
– you can get them from any sports good vendor
or you could go for one that matches the exact
shape of your mouth, by having your dentist
make it for you.

Conclusion:
The ways in which one’s teeth can get injured
are seemingly trivial, you don’t give them much
thought until you get hurt. And therein lies the
true reason behind the occurrence of tooth
injuries: we do not appreciate the fact that the
teeth are vulnerable like our every other body
part, which leads to carelessness and
sometimes results in an injury.

Conclusion:
In fact, estimates suggest that over five million
teeth are knocked out annually. By being a little
more considerate towards your teeth and
following simple sports safety
recommendations, you could prevent dental
injuries that amount to a net expenditure of
$500 million per annum.
